AT THE BACK OF THE PACK IS --> CATALINA NOT SHOWING ANY SPEED
BUT EVEN SLOWER IS A CRABBY CREEP-ALONG CRUZAN -- WHO IS FOLLOWING
CATALINA'S TAIL AS IF IT WERE A HORSE TREAT LACED WITH CARROTS!

~~THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH~~

RUFFIAN & BLUNNY ~ NECK + NECK CONTINUE TO LEAD THE WAY

CIGARSHOP IS PICKING UP SPEED QUICKLY AND NOW IS JUST
A LENGTH OFF OF THE TWIN TAILS HEADING TO THE WIRE
AND STILL IN WITH A GOOD CHANCE OF STEALING THE RACE

IT'S DEFENDING CHAMP, REAL QUIET NEXT ---
GAINING GROUND QUICKLY WITH HIS MIND SET ON A REPEAT WIN

ANOTHER 2 LENGTHS BACK ARE POST TIME MIKE -&- THUNDER CAT
NECK AND NECK BOTH IN WITH A CHANCE AT SOME MONEY

TIGER DANCER -&- PEEPTOAD ARE NEXT BUT THEIR HOPES AND HOPS
OF ANY PLACING OR MONEY IS QUICKLY FADING WITH EVERY STRIDE

ANOTHER FEW LENGTHS BACK ARE DUSTY & CATALINA
DOING THE TWIN-TURTLE-TANGO BEING FOLLOWED EVEN
SLOWER AT SNAIL TEMPO, BY CRUZAN ~ WHO APPARENTLY
DOES NOT LIKE THIS TRACK AT ALL, AND STILL APPEARS TO
HAVE MORE INTEREST IN CATALINA THAN IN RUNNING A RACE!

~~AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME~~

RUFFIAN -&- BLUNNY IN A DETERMINATION DUEL TO THE WIRE
CIGARSHOP STILL SHOWING GREAT ENERGY IS JUST A 1/2 LENGTH
BEHIND THE FRONT RUNNING TWIN TAILS OF RUFFIAN + BLUNNY

REAL QUIET IS NOT THRU YET IN HIS QUEST FOR A REPEAT BUT
IS NOT GAINING ANY GROUND ON THE TENACIOUS TRIO IN FRONT

CRUZAN === $10.80
*Almost A Golden Goose Egg
Which WILBUR (aka: WILBO) Prevented With His Constant Chatter
In Cruzan's Ear Causing A Failure To Focus For The Colt
Rumor has it that the 'Wilbur' Chatter was about the Dog House
With The Beer, Booze & Babes As Incentive To Run Slower?
